Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a waterproof method and structure thereof, and more particularly to providing an electronic device having a first housing and a second housing for waterproofing Method and its structure. [Prior Art] • Please refer to the figure la, which is a schematic diagram of a part of the prior art electronic device. Conventionally, in the waterproof structure design of the electronic device, the housing 2 is designed with a recess 22, and an annular apron 4 is disposed around the recess 22, on the electronic device. The housing 6 is provided with a projection 62 corresponding to the recess 22. When the upper casing 6 is engaged with the lower casing 2, the projection 62 is housed in the recess 22. The force F generated by the engagement of the upper casing 6 and the lower casing 2 is applied to the annular rubber ring 4 through the projection 62 on the upper casing 6, so that the annular rubber ring 4 is deformed to block the exterior. The water vapor φ (also or dust) enters the inside of the electronic device through the casing and the joint 8 after the upper casing 6 is combined with the lower casing 2, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. However, the uncoated annular apron 4 has a circular cross section, so that when the convex portion 62 presses the annular apron 4, the direction of deformation is unpredictable, that is, the ring The reaction force F' of the apron 4 due to application is not uniform. For example, when the annular apron 4 is applied, it may be deformed toward the outside of the electronic device, and the outer force is uneven and the inner side is large. Therefore, when the housings 2 and 6 of the electronic device are made of plastic or other rigidity, When the low material is made of 201217675, the above-mentioned uneven force condition may cause deformation of the joint of the upper and lower shells, so that the original design should be tight and the joint seam cannot be effectively tightly combined, thereby affecting The original waterproof structure is designed to even greatly reduce its waterproof effect. In order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, reference can be made to the "Portable Electronic Device Combination Structure with Improved Waterproof Structure" of Taiwan Patent No. M381599, which uses an airtight soft material to replace the annular rubber ring. Used to achieve waterproof effect. However, the airtight soft material is made of rubber or plastic material, and a hollow structure must be formed in the middle portion of the rubber or plastic to achieve the above-mentioned required waterproof structure, and the formation of the hollow structure is bound to increase the cost of production. . Therefore, there is a need for a method and structure that can effectively achieve waterproofing in addition to the drawbacks of conventional waterproof structures. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide a waterproofing method which is provided to prevent the waterproofing effect of the joint of the casing of the electronic device from being affected by deformation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a waterproof structure that provides an electronic device for waterproofing purposes. To achieve the above and other objects, the present invention provides a waterproof method for an electronic device having a first housing and a second housing, and the first housing has a first edge for engaging the second housing a second edge of the body, the waterproofing method includes: forming a protrusion around the first edge on the first housing, and forming a second edge on the second housing and corresponding to the protruding portion a recess, wherein the recess accommodates the 201217675 projection when the first edge engages the second edge, and the elastic unit is disposed on the concave towel, the flexible unit having a body and a soft interference body protruding from the body; Engaging the first edge and the second edge to cause the protrusion to press the soft interference body to deform to form the first interference structure/for the purpose of the first object, and the object of the invention a structure for the electronic housing having the first housing and the second housing, and the first housing has a first side to engage the second edge of the second housing, the waterproof structural package 3 protruding Part, recess and elastic unit. The convex & portion is formed on the first housing around the first edge; the recess is formed on the second housing around the second edge, and the recess is corresponding to the protrusion; The elastic unit is received along the recess, the unitary unit has a body disk soft interference body' and the soft interference system protrudes from the body, and when the second edge engages the second edge, the A projection is received in the recess and compresses the soft interference body to deform to form a first interference structure. ^Knowledge technology pure, the present invention is a water method and its function, which utilizes the _-豸 and the extended convex iU of the soft interfering body of the body, and can be used without changing the housing design of the original electronic device. In order to form the first =: also: when the shells are combined, the shells are not caused by excessive deformation or deformation unevenness due to =_ early flaws, resulting in the loss of such shells. Furthermore, the present invention can also be further permeable to the waterproofing effect of the body's use for the money-step, that is, the hard interference = the system can be used to fix the elastic unit, and the second interference can also be formed by the advantage of the benefit. The method and its structure, in addition to the system can be solved in the future, because the elastic unit is too deformed or deformed to make the shells tightly combined, it can also achieve higher waterproof and dustproof (Ingress Protection ; IP) rating. [Embodiment] In order to fully understand the object, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail by the following specific embodiments and with the accompanying drawings. A flow chart of the waterproofing method of the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the waterproof method is for having a first housing, an electronic device, and the first housing has a first edge for engaging the second edge of the second housing. The method includes: on the first housing, a protrusion around the first edge, that is, the protruding material surrounds a portion disposed on the first housing and forms a surrounding on the second housing The second edge is opposite to the domain of the convex (four); then, the elastic sheet is provided with the elastic sheet: medium=Γ has a body and a soft interference body protruding from the body, =Γ:::: is, or a rectangle, and The soft interfering body is a secret body' and the pyramid is tapered in the above, and the sides of the polygon are further extended to the bottom portion to be polygonal, and the solid cone is joined to the first edge of the fiscal point; "' ', the edge is caused to cause the protrusion to squeezing the soft interference body to deform to form a first interference structure. In other words, in the present invention, when the elasticity is first subjected to the extrusion of the protrusion The soft interfering body of the bomb is deformed by the head portion, and since the soft body is involved in the body The size is relatively small, so the reaction force generated by the deformation of 201217675 is not enough to deform the first edge of the first-shell. The projection of the first body is pressed by applying downward When the force is directed toward the soft If (4) and the body is moved and squeezed, the soft #interference system first undergoes the downward force to cause deformation; then, the deformed soft interference system again will be the downward force. The grounding is transmitted to the body, causing the body to deform as well. It is worth noting that the soft interference system 'effectively disperses the downward force, and the body indirectly affects the shape after the deformation The variable does not affect the combination of the first edge and the second edge. Further, according to the design of the projection, in addition to squeezing the soft interference body, the elastic unit may be further squeezed. The body is deformed. However, since the section of the body is quadrangular or rectangular, the protrusion can exert an average pressure on the body to cause uniform deformation, and the corresponding reaction force can be generated. The soft interference effect can be applied to the surface of the body to avoid the deformation of the joint at the joint to avoid the poor waterproofing and dustproof effect. The soft interference body of the embodiment can be plural, respectively protruding from the surface of the body, and - When the edge joins the second edge, the protrusions press the soft interference bodies to form a plurality of first-interference structures. The number of soft interference bodies can be designed according to user requirements. Referring to FIG. 3, the present invention is A flow chart of the waterproofing method of the second embodiment. In addition to the waterproofing method of the above-described first embodiment, the method further includes forming a rigid interference body at the protruding portion and engaging the first edge and the second portion. At the edge, the rigid interference body is pressed and positioned to position the body of the elastic unit to deform the 201217675 to form a second interference structure. In this embodiment, the soft interference body and the hard interference system are asymmetrically respectively The protrusion is disposed on the protrusion. In other words, one end of the projection has a convex hard interference body, and the hard interference system can be formed at a position that does not correspond to the soft interference body. When the first edge of the first housing is engaged with the second edge of the second housing, the rigid interference system can press the body of the elastic unit to deform, and the rigid interference body squeezes the A second interference structure different from the first interference structure may be formed at the body. Wherein, the second interference structure further provides a further waterproof effect. In addition, the hard interference structure can also provide the body positioning effect by extrusion. It is worth noting that the rigid interference body is not limited to any shape, i.e., the rigid interference body only needs to protrude from the projection, which is a constraint of the hard interference structure of the present invention. Referring to Figures 4a and 4b, there are shown schematic cross-sectional views of a waterproof structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 4a, the waterproof structure 10 is used for an electronic device having a first φ housing 12 and a second housing 14. Please note that the first housing 12 and the second housing 14 of the drawing are only shown. A cross-sectional view of the joint portion of the two members does not show the entirety of the first casing 12 and the second casing 14. The first housing 12 has a first edge 122 for engaging a second edge 142 of the second housing 14. The waterproof structure 10 includes a projection 16, a recess 18 and an elastic unit 20. The protrusion 16 is formed on the first housing 12 around the first edge 122; the recess 18 is formed on the second housing 14 around the second edge 142, and the recess 18 is paired The protrusion 16 should be received; and the elastic unit 20 is received therein along the recess 18, the elastic unit 20 has a body 201217675 202 and a soft interference body 204, and the soft interference body 204 is extended from the body 202. Out. The body 202 of the elastic unit 20 may have a quadrilateral or rectangular cross section, and the soft interference body 204 may be a pyramid. In the embodiment, the body 202 is described by taking a rectangular body as an example. In another embodiment, the body 202 and the soft interference body 204 may be made of rubber. Moreover, when the first edge 122 engages the second edge 142, the projection 16 is received in the recess 18 and compresses the soft interference body 204 to deform to form a first interference structure. Referring to FIG. 4b, when the first housing 12 of FIG. 4a is engaged with the second housing 14, the protrusion 16 disposed around the first edge 122 of the first housing 12 is inserted into The recess 18 is also formed around the second edge 142 of the second housing 14 and the soft interference body 204 of the elastic unit 16 is pressed. It should be noted that the soft interference body 204 of the elastic unit 20 is first subjected to the force F by the protruding portion 16, and the soft interference body 204 is deformed by the downward force F, and further Squeezing the body 202 causes the body 202 to also deform within the recess 142. The soft interference body 204 and the body 202, the protruding portion 16 and the recess 18 are in contact with each other and pressed to form a first interference structure, thereby providing a waterproof function. Further, since the amount of deformation of the soft interference body 204 when the force F is received is small, the case where the casing is deformed due to the application of the excessive reaction force F' to the projection portion 16 is not caused. By the waterproof structure of the present invention having the first interference structure, the tight joint design of the first edge 122 of the first casing 12 and the second edge 142 of the second casing 14 is not affected. It still retains its waterproof structure. 201217675 Referring to Figures 5a and 5b, there are shown schematic cross-sectional views of a waterproof structure according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5a, the waterproof structure 10' is used for an electronic device having a first housing 12 and a second housing 14, and the first housing 12 has a first edge 122 for engaging the second housing. The second edge 142 of the 14 is excluding the projection 16, the recess 18 and the elastic unit 20 which are identical to the previous embodiment. The first housing 12 further includes a rigid interference body 124, and the rigid interference body 124 extends from the protruding portion 16 and is rigid when the first edge 122 engages the second edge 142. The interference body 124 and the soft interference body 204 are asymmetrically disposed on the protrusion 16 and the body 20, respectively. It is to be noted that the rigid interference body 124 is not limited to any shape, and it only needs to protrude from the projection 16 to be the hard interference body 124 of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5b, when the first housing 12 is coupled to the second housing 14, the protruding portion 16 circumferentially disposed on the first edge 122 of the first housing 12 is inserted into the same surrounding arrangement. In the recess 142 of the second edge 142 of the second housing 14, the soft interference body 204 of the elastic unit 20 is pressed. Here, the soft interference body 204 of the elastic unit 20 is subjected to deformation by the force F applied to the protruding portion 16, and at the same time, the rigid interference body 124 located at the protruding portion 16 is The body 202 of the elastic unit 20, that is, the body 202 and the soft interference body 204, simultaneously and separately receive the downward force from the rigid interference body 124 and the protrusion 16 And causing the body 202 to deform in the recess 18. The rigid interference body 124 and the body 202 are in contact with each other and pressed to form a second interference structure, thereby providing a waterproof function. It is worthwhile to note that 11 201217675 means that since the rigid interference body 124 is small in this embodiment, the deformation of the body 202 caused by the pressing of the body 202 is small, so the body 202 does not apply excessive The reaction force F' is caused by the hard interference body 124 causing deformation of the casing. Furthermore, since the rigid interference body 124 partially presses the body 202, the effect of positioning the body 202 can be provided. In summary, according to the foregoing first interference structure and the second interference structure, the waterproof structure of the present invention can reduce the overall waterproof effect by not deforming the joint of the shell due to excessive application of a reaction force on the shell. In addition, it can be used to further effectively improve and enhance the waterproof effect. Compared with the prior art, the waterproof method and the structure thereof of the present invention utilize an elastic unit having a soft interference body, and can be used to form a first interference structure without changing the design of the original electronic housing. In addition to providing a waterproof function, it is also possible to achieve that when the shells are combined, the shells are not deformed due to excessive reaction forces generated by the elastic unit and cannot be tightly coupled. Furthermore, the present invention can further achieve a further anti- φ water effect through the housing having a rigid interference body. That is, the rigid interference body can be used to fix the elastic unit, and a second interference structure can also be formed. . Therefore, the waterproofing method and the structure thereof of the present invention can be used to solve the problem in the prior art because the elastic unit generates excessive reaction force and cannot make the installations close to δ and the combination is lost.
